Well the sun is shining, it's warm and I have a fly buzzing around my head so it must be officially summer. :) Yey, not long to my super duper holiday in Alaska where it definitely won't be summery or warm - mmm, I'd better dig out some of my warmer togs and my sparkly evening frock (that for the cruising part of the trip). Anyway back to reality! (*sad face)
Well it's that time of the month again ---- it's Sweet Stampin' time. This week it's all about Christmas In July --- I know, I know I said the dreaded 'C' word. I'm so sorry!!! So to get you in the Christmassy mood here's my DT card and if that doesn't work it'll definitely cool you off. LOL
Here's What I did
I used a A5 white card base with a mat of patterned paper which was edges with distressing ink. The Kraft card mat was die cut to give a scallop curved bottom. The sentiments and snowflakes were printed directly onto my sheet using CraftArtist2, and the snow family was stamped in the space between them. I used Copics to colour the family and used distressing ink around the edge of the card and the die cut tree. To finish off my card I added a little glitter to the falling snow.
